For Hollywood star Kate Hudson, a summer getaway to Greece isn’t just a vacation—it is an annual family tradition. For decades, the actress has treated the Aegean as her second home, frequently spending her summers alongside her mother, Goldie Hawn, and stepfather, Kurt Russell.
While the family famously anchors their annual summer holidays at their private estate on the pine-fringed island of Skiathos, Hudson has expanded her Greek itinerary to explore the country’s luxurious seaside spots.
After arriving in Greece and kicking off her trip with her parents in the Sporades, Hudson traveled to the mainland for a family retreat along the Athenian Riviera.
Kate Hudson: I feel like home in Greece
Taking to Instagram to share a glimpse of her summer escape with her 18.7 million followers, the actress published a photo album documenting her time at a luxury resort in Glyfada. Captioning the gallery, “Perfect start to summer,” Hudson showed off a classic, active, yet deeply relaxing Mediterranean holiday alongside her children, Bingham and Rani.
The snapshots captured the quintessential laid-back spirit that keeps drawing the family back to Greece year after year. Hudson’s itinerary included morning bike rides through the resort’s coastal paths, unwinding in a seaside sauna, playing padel tennis, and lounging by a private pool with a book while twinning with her daughter. The day concluded in true local fashion: gathering for an outdoor dinner right on the water to watch the sunset over the Saronic Gulf.
Hudson has never hidden her deep love for the country, previously declaring to Harper’s Bazaar that Greece is her absolute favorite place in the world. “I feel really at home there,” she confessed. “I love the culture, the people are wonderful, and the water is just so incredibly appealing.” With her famous family continuing their decades-long love affair with the Greek summer, it has truly become a multi-generational affair.
